Everyone was a bit impatient, but Ji Yunxi managed to calm down. They hadn't had a good rest in the past two days.
"We've been too tired these two days. So let's take a night to rest and set off tomorrow."
The group of people all went back to their rooms to rest.
Just as Ji Yunxi was about to go to sleep, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Frowning slightly, she opened the door and was surprised to see Jing Weiwei standing outside.
"What's up?"
Jing Weiwei didn't dare to look Ji Yunxi in the eye and said timidly, "Master, could I go to Beidi with you?"
"What for?"
She suddenly looked up. "Master, I just... just want to take a look..."
"Take a look? To accompany the deputy master?"
After being exposed, Jing Weiwei's cheeks flushed red. It was hard to tell if it was from shyness or shame.
She refused to admit it and stammered, "I'm not. I just want to give everyone a hand."
Ji Yunxi directly interrupted her nonsense. "Jing Weiwei, do you think I can't do anything about you? Don't push your luck! You should know what we're going to Beidi for. Do you want to sacrifice others' lives for your time with Azhi?"
Jing Weiwei's face instantly turned as white as a sheet. "I'm not. I don't mean that..."
"You don't? Don't you know how high your spiritual power is? You can't even beat my contracted spiritual beast. It could easily take your life with a wave of its hand. What can you do to help us?"
Jing Weiwei was speechless. She also knew in her heart that although Ji Yunxi's words were harsh, they made sense.
Ji Yunxi tolerated her a lot because she was her niece. Even though Jing Weiwei had feelings for Feng Xingzhi, she endured it secretly, thinking that she would understand when she grew up without exposing her.
But now Li Jiuge was in great danger. The enemy was quite powerful, and even Lushu couldn't find the right person. How dare Jing Weiwei use this opportunity to get close to Feng Xingzhi?
This was not just simple immaturity, but maliciousness.
The two stood face to face, and Jing Weiwei was about to cry from fear.
Just then, Zhao Qingcang happened to pass by. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward.
"Master, this subordinate also wants to go to Beidi to help you. Please allow me. One more person means one more strength."
Looking at the two people in front of her, Ji Yunxi had already made a decision. Jing Weiwei's identity was special, so it wasn't appropriate to directly expel her from the Menghua Pavilion. But when Jiuge came back, she must clean up the entire Menghua Pavilion!
"Zhao Qingcang, Jing Weiwei, it would be okay if only one of you went. But now you two want to go together. If something happens, should we protect you or fight the enemy? You are so naive."
After saying that, she took a step back and was about to close the door.
Jing Weiwei reached out her hand to plead again when she heard Ji Yunxi say inside, "Not only naive but also shameless."
The hand Jing Weiwei stretched out immediately lost its warmth and became cold.
Early the next morning, there were quite a few people in the main hall of the Menghua Pavilion.
Besides taking her second brother, Feng Xingzhi, Lushu, and Qingxuan, Ji Yunxi also selected five people with excellent spiritual power from the Menghua Pavilion. The team was quite large.
Who would have thought that just as they were about to mount their horses, Zhao Qingcang and Jing Weiwei actually followed behind with their bags on their backs.
Ji Yunxi's anger made her spiritual power instantly spread around.
Lushu, who was closest to her, immediately noticed it and saw that Ji Yunxi didn't want to take them.
He dismounted and told the stable boy to step back. Then he said to the two of them, "It seems that there are no rules in the pavilion now. Everyone can ignore the master's order and make their own decisions?"
Qingxuan suddenly let out a cold laugh. Jing Weiwei remembered his words about being a concubine and tightly clutched the bag in her hand aggrievedly.
Lushu naturally knew that Qingxuan's laugh was mocking his poor management. Anger rushed to his head. "I think you don't want to stay in the Menghua Pavilion anymore!"
This shout carried his anger, and the floor tiles under Lushu's feet instantly cracked.
Jing Weiwei wasn't afraid at all, but Zhao Qingcang was so frightened that he trembled. His eyes kept wandering, looking at the woman beside him.
Unfortunately, the other person didn't even spare him a glance. She just stared at Feng Xingzhi on the horse with aggrieved tears in her eyes.
"Deputy..."
"If you don't want to stay, get out. The Menghua Pavilion is not afraid of the royal family."
With just one sentence, Jing Weiwei's tears welled up.
She understood what he meant. Feng Xingzhi was warning her that if she continued to follow blindly, she would definitely be expelled from the Menghua Pavilion and would never have a chance to get close to him again.
"What a beautiful woman shedding tears. But if you don't get out of the way, if anything happens to the Princess of Nanyan, I'll kill you first, this disciple of the pavilion."
When Qingxuan said this, his tone was cold, making Jing Weiwei shiver. She felt that he wasn't just joking but would really kill her.
She subconsciously looked in Feng Xingzhi's direction and slightly raised her hand, as if hoping that Feng Xingzhi would help her.
"Get out. It's just right that you've packed your things."
The carriage kicked up sand and dust, and behind them was Jing Weiwei's crying, which was really annoying.
Ji Yunxi was sitting in the carriage. Seeing Feng Xingzhi riding a horse outside, she opened the curtain and asked, "Azhi, do you want to come in and rest for a while?"
After thinking for a moment, Feng Xingzhi handed the horse to Lushu and got into the carriage.
"Xixi, you're in a bad mood."
Ji Yunxi pursed her lips. Just thinking about Jing Weiwei made her feel a lump of anger in her chest.
"Indeed. Your Highness is really popular."
Hearing the strong hint of jealousy, Feng Xingzhi felt that he had been unjustly blamed again. He couldn't help but complain about Jing Weiwei in his heart, but he still had to quickly coax Ji Yunxi.
"Xixi, I have nothing to do with Jing Weiwei. You can't blame her mistakes on me. I'm so wronged."
Feng Xingzhi took out a small bag from the secret compartment of the carriage and rummaged through it to find a date cake. He handed it to Ji Yunxi.
"Don't be angry. This is from the best pastry shop in Xirong City. Try it."
Ji Yunxi pouted. She originally wanted to pick a fight, but unexpectedly, he had already prepared something to placate her. She took it and gave him a little angry glare. Finally, her mood improved.
The days of bumpy travel had taken a toll on them.
The road from Xirong to Beidi was a continuous range of mountains. The undulating mountains connected the small border towns of the two countries.
Finally, they saw the shadow of the border city of Beidi. Ji Yunxi was a bit tired. She let out a sigh of relief and decided to find a place to rest first and let the horses catch their breath.
Who would have thought that just as they walked out of the forest, suddenly the sand and stones on the ground flew up, and a strange wind blew.
Lushu, sitting on the horse, immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Be careful!"
The disciples of the Menghua Pavilion around quickly gathered together and surrounded Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi's carriage in the middle. Even Ji Yunyi was firmly protected by Lushu and Qingxuan.
A group of black - clothed people came from afar with swords in their hands, showing their killing intent without any disguise.
Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi also realized something was wrong, but they remained calm and sat in the carriage, waiting to see what would happen.
